Our sister site RealBeauty.com gets a backstage look from the makeup artist at the Jason Wu fashion show.

It was all about gold Jason Wu's fashion show — rose gold that is — from the eye makeup to the ponytail holders. The models' hair was pulled back into simple low ponytails that were meant to look chic, elegant, and very expensive — like gold. And their smokey eyes were finished off with golden shimmer.

To get the look, Lead makeup artist for Lancôme, Diane Kendal, used a coffee eye pencil and brown eyeshadow to darken the eyes, then added rose gold glitter to the center of the eyelid to make the eyes pop. Kendal and Wu played around with different silvers and golds before finally settling on rose gold because "Jason likes to make a statement, " said Kendal. And was it ever!

Expert tip: If you you're using glitter, Kendal recommends dipping the brush into water first, then into the glitter. This will ensure that your glitter tacks on and stays put.
